Question

In a play, a character with this title is told, “Cruel man, you have forgotten tomorrow,” by his employer’s ghost. In a trance, that man with this title presents his bloody sheets and says, “let me dance into the passage even as I have lived beneath your roofs.” A play in which a person with this title is told that “the child does not return through the same passage that gave it birth” was (10[1])inspired by the same incident as a Duro Ladipo play about a person with this title. In another play, a person with this title is called an “eater of leftovers” (10[4]-5[3])and tells the story (-5[1])of the “Not-I” (-5[1])bird to a praise (-5[1])singer. (-5[2])Pilkings imprisons that (-5[1])person with this title, causing his son, Olunde, to take his place in a ritual suicide. (10[1]-5[1])For 10 points, give this title for a Yoruba monarch’s right-hand man, which names a play by Wole Soyinka. (10[2])■END■ (10[8]0[7])

ANSWER: king’s horseman [or ẹlẹ́ṣin ọba or ẹlẹ́ṣin aláàfin; accept olorì ẹlẹ́ṣin; accept Death and the King’s Horseman or Ikú olókùn-ẹṣin] (The Ladipo play is Ọbá Wàjà.)
